New project website at https://idot.illinois.gov/projects/florence-bridge-project

It states that construction of the new bridge is anticipated to begin in 2024.

The new design is a composite steel girder/concrete deck bridge with sufficient clearance for river traffic, replacing the existing mechanical lift truss bridge.

As I recall this bridge has been closed several times for fixes and I think it was hit by a loose barge10 or 12 years ago.

Anyway, this pulley damaging one of the trusses is a pretty good reason.
